Patricia Briggs

It is with profound sadness and a profound sense of loss that we announce the passing of Patricia Ann Briggs, a beloved wife, a cherished family member, a devoted friend, and a beacon of positivity to all who were fortunate to know her. Born on October 8, 1946, in Elyria, Ohio, Patricia, affectionately known as Pat, dedicated her life to selfless acts of kindness, love, and service.

Patricia was a truly remarkable woman. She was dedicated and courageous, qualities that she showcased throughout her professional journey as a Licensed Practical Nurse. Her empathetic nature and gentle spirit were a source of comfort to countless patients. Pat was also a loving and supportive wife to her husband, James Briggs, providing a foundation of love and strength in their marital union.

A proud resident of Center Ridge, Arkansas, Pat was an active member of her community. She was known for her love for gardening and cooking, as well as her passion for reading. Her love for animals was evident through her cherished pets. Above all, Patricia's love for her church and family was paramount. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren were the 'apples of her eye'. Even in her worst health days, a single smile from them had the magical power to light up her face. As the saying goes, "The love for family and the admiration of friends is much more important than wealth and privilege."

Patricia's memory will be carried forward by her loving husband, James Briggs, Sons; Shane Briggs (Kyla) of Lapel, IN, Erin Briggs of Vilonia, Peter Briggs (Cara Roth) of Mayflower, Daughter; Shawn Walter of Greeley, CO; Brother; Robert Armitage of New London, OH, Grandchildren; Christian, Shayna, Austin, Aubrey, Samantha, Claire, Bryce, Emily, Sandis and Stellen, Great Grandchildren; Presley, Keenan, and Ellie along with a host of other family and friends.
